Reminded me how little I actually know of those days. Had a documentary feel about, and certainly kept any political comment to a minimum, shades of grey etc across both sides. Yes very good film and another outstanding perfomance by O'Connell. I remember the tensions around that time in Northern Ireland and the pub bombings in Birmingham and Guildford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted August 19, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2016 Just watched "Mulholland Drive" for the first time ever. I think Homer watching another instalment from the career of David Lynch perfectly sums up my feeling on "Mulholland Drive". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riveting and with the great sir alan rickman in his final role. Terrific. Watching this later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 20, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2016 Watched Monster. Really enjoyed that. Theron is superb in it and Ricci is very good too. I recommend this one if you've not already seen it. 8/10 WPBA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are an office fan it's worth watching, there's loads of lol moments but some of it is so cringe it's painful at times. Overall I think the story justifies the film and gives it a reason to exist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 (edited) I personally thought it was better than the hurt locker which won the Oscar that year edit: the best picture was hurt locker, an education nominated alongside up, up in the air, avatar, blind side, district 9, inglorious basterds, precious and a serious man what a horrible year for best picture...gran Torino still didn't get a sniff Edited August 22, 2016 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 24, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 24, 2016 I leave this here for your perusery pleasure. If there's one thing better than a list, it's disagreeing with someone else's.
